once again it's been a while since i've been - when i used to go to at EC it was on only once or twice a month.

whats it like out there now its every week? many people from this forum still head out?

I think benm regularly attends to spectate
Sure do -although- last week I actually went to race after spending over an hour in the scrutineering line and then another hour in the line ready to race (whilst moving a whole 3 spots forward) to then watch it piss down.

Which reminds me.... I gotta ring them to find out about my ticket from last week, they said i'd receive something in the mail but I haven't.

If you plan on going to race get there early (ie 4pm).

Well another packed out nite at WSID (I think I need to go to WSID Anonymous). :wassup:

Arrived at 6pm to spectate to discover 160+ competitors waiting out the back. It was a 4 lane carpark all the way past the scrutineering and back to the Pit Entry Lane. A friend waited 2hrs to get his first run to end up with 3 runs from 5pm->10pm. They actually sent competitors home whom arrived late because their was too many to begin with. I think they are going to need to change the starting time to something earlier to cut off the competitors at about 120 :wave:

Didn't see many Skylines there :Oops: Their was a black R33 GTS-t doing 13.5-14.0's all night which looked to be fairly stock. A blue LJ doing low 9's (NOS Assisted), the Hayabusa was doing 9's. Afew pack cars in the 8/9's. Afew Comonwhores with some broken gearbox/clutches :aroused:

Good nite of racing and an excellent crowd (bigger than the "Drag Combat" Event held last Saturday).

Had a guy in a little Corolla trying to drag me the whole way home on the Hwy. Got about 1km from home and realised it was a mate :headspin:

WSID havnt got it right yet in letting people know that it was tickets only last night at the competitors entrance yesterday, i was with my gtr on a trailer waiting for 2 hours to get in the back but security would let anyone in with out a ticket, security almost got bashed by some lebos who has the shi*s, and the line up was rediculous, esspecialy when people bring there stock vk holdens and think they gonna run 10s all night, just a note to all the poeple who take there stock geminis and other stock vehicles," if you havnt moded your car or tuned it for the night dont take it down casue when you gt on the line and pop your cluch and have to be towed away you ruin it for everyone else who has to wait for whours till you get you car towed off the line and have to clean up the mess.

if you havnt moded your car or tuned it for the night dont take it down cause when you get on the line and pop your cluch and have to be towed away you ruin it for everyone else who has to wait for hours till you get you car towed off the line and have to clean up the mess.
In all honesty I seen 3 cars have issues from 6pm->10pm. Each of them took around 3-4mins to be removed, even the quickest car of the nite had an issue (parachute let go after the burnout).

It's the d1ckheads in the Magna's with the shopping trolley wings that do a 150m burnout (with no smoke) that are more to blame of holdups.

yeah thats true, magnas should get banned, esspecially with those stupid shopping trolleys, that dont help to break the 19sec pass

Actually it was doing 15's the same as 300kw HSV's :wassup:

If you wanting to "ban" cars ban the <10sec cars, but then again thats what brings in the crowd.

If I was JR i'd be having 100 cars on Wed nite and 100 cars on Fri nite but just make it 5pm-9pm or something.

yeah well yeah well like i said prepare your self for the track dont just rock up like your going to the movies. have what you need ready and run your time. i mean it in a good way, and hope everyone the best of luck, ill be there next week at midday waiting to get it.

anyone takign their gtr down to the creek next week>?

    • Hope you aren't too sore after that one, might take a day or 2 to notice yet and I guess it is a loooooong drive home. On the bright side, tube frame front end is a thing at superlap, right?

    • The chart of front pressure to rear pressure (with one being on the x axis and the other being on the y axis) is not a straight line on a typical proportioning valve. At lower pressures there is a straight line with one slope, and at higher pressures that changes to a lower slope. That creates a bend in the line at that pressure, called the knee point. If you do not change the proportionng as the pressure gets higher, you will suffer excessive pressure (at one end of the car or the other, depending on which way you look at the proportioning action) and then get lockups at that end. The HFM BM57, from my memory of previous discussions, is based on the BM57 from a different car (to a Skyline), with a different requirement for the location of the knee point and the distribution of pressure front to rear, and so is not a good choice for an upgrade on a Skyline. Here's a couple of links to some old posts, one from here, one from elsewhere. A lot of it pertains to adjustable prop valves, but the idea is the same. There are plenty of discussions on here about this issue from al the many years of people wanting a cheap/accessible option. https://grassrootsmotorsports.com/forum/grm/learn-me-brake-proportioning-valves/236880/page1/ https://grassrootsmotorsports.com/forum/grm/learn-me-brake-proportioning-valves/236880/page1/
